The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica, Montenegro, is seeking proposals for comprehensive health insurance coverage for its locally employed staff, with a requirement to provide off-the-shelf plans meeting minimum benefit standards established in the solicitation. The contract is a requirements-based agreement with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, for a potential total duration of five years, and includes a minimum guarantee of 30 employees annually with a cap of 1,000 total employees across all years. Offerors must submit fixed-price proposals for three coverage categories—Self, Self Plus One, and Family—covering the base year and all option years; failure to include pricing for any period renders the proposal non-responsive.

Mandatory submission components include the SF-33, completed Section B pricing schedules with retention amounts, Section K representations and certifications, IRS Form W-14 for tax compliance, and proof of SAM registration with UEI. Offerors must also demonstrate an established business presence in Montenegro or a plan to establish one within 30 days of award. The insurance plan must provide minimum coverage levels across all essential categories: 100% for hospitalization and emergency services, 80% for outpatient care, ambulance, medications, preventive services, optical and hearing care, reproductive health, and chronic disease management, and 50% for mental health and substance abuse treatment. Dependent coverage must extend for 180 days following the employee’s death, and all services must be delivered by licensed providers. Excluded services include elective cosmetic surgery, non-medical hospital charges, home help, and advanced reproductive technologies.
